A SUNDERLAND IDYL.
By Mrs f. C. ToMLINsoN.

1t is the evening and the morning of
the first day, on this Isle of the blest. -
1t seems hardly possible that yesterday
we dined in Detroit, and this morning
breakfasted here, The heat and dust
aer left behind; the 'cares of this world"
have slipped away. The past seems
remote, and the beautiful present the
only reality.
II is the evening and the morning of
the second day. a restful, peaceful
Sabbath, au ideal day, deliciously cool,
while the air is an elixir, and the odor
of the pines pure tonic The majes-
tic ST, Lawrence, five miles in width
at this point, has been a mirror to-day.
Mr.. James Sargent, our host, invited a
party of ten to take seats in his little
yacht the Sunset . propelled by nap,
tina expansion, with no smoke or Gin
ders; no noise of engine. or pulling of
cigar smoke in our faces from the gen
tlemen of the party. We took a sail
of eighteen miles, and was there ever

doctrine that leads to such absurdities
as these is hardly worth considering.
In truth, it is pure fiction. 1t has
no ground in fact. Conscience is not
the essential Christ, nor any other
Christ. 1t is no more the essential
Christ than it is the essential Buddha,
Confucius or Mohammed. Conscience
leads to Buddhism, Mohammedanism
or any other ism, just as readily as it
does to Christianity. Let one be taught
that Mohammed is the prophet of God,
and conscience will insist just as
strongly that he follow Mohammed, as
it will that he follow Christ. when
taught that Christ is the prophet of
God.
Conscience, in and of itself, knows
nothing about the truth of any religion.
Conscience is not light; it is power. 1t
moves us to obey the true religion, but
it does not tell us what the true relig-
ion is. Whatever religion, therefore,
is presented to us as true, conscience
will approve and bid us obey. All this
notion, then, that conscience is 1.-The es-
sential Christ" is pure fiction. 1t is
an invention of Joseph Cook, simply
to escape the doctrine of future proba-
tion, and yet open a way for the saliva
tiOn of some of the good heathen. No
man will ever be saved by following
conscience, unless conscience is enlight-
ened by the truth of God.
But finally this doctrine is not orth-
odox. Orthodoxy has never taught any
such notion as that conscience is ''the
essential Christi or that one could be
saved by merely following conscience
without any knowledge of historic
Christianity. Is not this school then
less orthodox than the Andover school?
Could Joseph Cook be a teacher in
Andover Would the visitors allow
him to teach his doctrine. that con-
science is 1.-The essential Christ" and
that many heather will be saved be-
cause they have followed conscience :?
1t is pretty clear to our mind that Prof.
Smyth is to-day more orthodox than
either DIR. Withrow or Joseph Cook.

THAT RAGING CONTROVERSY
BY MARK HOLROYD.
(Wyanet, Ill.)

In the Inter Ocean of July 80, under
the head THAT Raging Controversy, 3"
Rev. J. A. Adams replies to Washing
ton GLADDEN.. So far as Andover and it's
professors are concerned it is not much
of an outsiders business. Reading
sthe article a Uaiversalist, can sea the
"muddle" DR.. GLADDEN. and his school
are in. Things part of iron and part
of clay" have neither strength nor CO.
hesion. Let the Andover progressives
take the circle of Universalism and
they will have position those of their
brethren who have mo time to spend
on dead pagans' will find hard to assail
Why cannot DR.. GLADDEN., and others,
with the light that has dawned upon
them, see that Universalism as to sin
and salvation is a circle? Why should
they spend their talents and be 50 much
absorbed in extending segments and
chords to include a few more than
their creed? Why can they not inn
prove the light within them, so as to
see that the Father 'hath concluded all
in unbelief, GENTLE as well as Jew
"that he might have mercy upon alp"
They will come to it. Time and cir
cumstances change creeds and opinions.
We're Nehemiah Adams living now he
would scarcely write ''South-Side
view of slavery" praising its effect
upon the religious character of the ne
groes; and it is also not unreasonable to
suppose that many who write now as
if an infinitely more intolerable condi-
tiOn than slavery is beneficial to man
and clarifying to God, will be very glad
that our Father is so good and just as
to Overlook times Of ignorance" (Acts
xvii, 3O) not only for their benefit, but
also for the "po0r heathen."
In Mr.. Adams's article a noticeable
feature is, its almost entire absence of
Biblical quotation. 1t is freely inter
larded with quotations from thelogians
as follows: 1.-The two foci of theology
are sin and redemption "(H. B. Smith,:
"Sin is unforeed human agency Prof.
Park: "Self determination runs paral-
lei with help (Dr, Sheddl: 1.-The retri-
butive sentiment is intrinsically excel

do not know as | understand DIR. II. b.
Smith about the 1.-TWO foci.' The
Scriptures give me to understand that
"sin and redemption are two opposing
facts rather than 1.-TWO foei."
Sin, a temporal fact, was allowed for
a wise and benevolent purpose, we may
conclude-for God is both wise and
benevolent and makes no mistakes
either against himself or his chiIdren's
welfare-to enter the moral universe.
Redemption is an eternal purpose "to
put away sin" Heb. tx, 27l. LAS sin

bound" from. V, 2Ol. So we see the
pertinency to Mr. Adams's quotation
from the Cambridge Hulsean lectures
that "God is justified in hunting sin
out of the universe" Now it rests
with theologians to prove that God will
not be successful; that "sin will not be
put away" 1t seems as if theologiaus,
like politicians, only look at substan-
tiating their own positions. They can

that not one single word can be found in

In the first paragraph of his paper,
Br. Yates admits that vegetable and
animal life is distinct from matter.
But he claims mineral life is not.
know nothing about mineral life. There
is no such thing as mineral life iu the
sense in which L have used the term,
and in the sense in which intelligent
scientists use it. | know that minerals
are material, and if minerals have life,
then there is material life. l used life
in the sense of an organizing building
force, that was not material, though
it used matter in building organisms.
This Br. Yates affirmed in his first
paper was not correct-that this build
ing life was material. Now he says it
is mineral life that is co-existent with
matter. But mineral life, as he calls
it, does not organize, does not build
organisms, does not transform and con
troll matter. This was the life l was
writing about, and it was this very life
that he affirmed was identical with
matter. If by life he means physical
force which produces crystals, and
attracts masses of matter to each other,
| have no controversy with him BY
life l mean a mysterious force which
uses soil, air, water, sunbeams and dew
drops in building up beautiful organ
isms we call flowers. Row it does this
we do not know, but the fact that it
does it, cannot be questioned.
2 The germs of plants and even an
imal organisms may be, and doubtless
are in the soil, the water and the at
mosphere; but that does not make
them material or prove that they were
created when God created matter, as
Br Yates claimed in his first paper.
You can heat the soil, air, and water,
until the germs are killed, and will not
produce organisms. but that does not
destroy or decompOse the water, air
and earth, which it would do if the
life of the germ and the life of matter
is the same, which 1 understand Br.

duces crystals, globes and systems;

the actions of these forces are totally

THE SCIENCE OF LIFE.
Another Article by Rev. F. M. Yates and An
swer by Rev. DR.. Tucker.


We agree with DIR. Tucker that matter
existed thousands of years before there
was any manifest animal or vegetable
life upon our globe. Mineral life first
existed. The soil on the surface is CON-
posed of pulverized minerals. ~ Now
let us go back to the time when the soil
first began to be fitted to produce vege-
table life. How is the rose to be produc-
ed from the soil or mud, as DR.. Tucker
terms it. According TO his theory, some
thing called life seizes the mud, and by
the help of the sun, atmosphere, dew
drops and other forces, manufactures it
into q rose. (2) But believe the germ
of the rose bush must have been first
created and deposited in the soil. This
germ must contain its own essential life,
and the conditions of it's growth are suita-
bic soil, moisture, sunlight, and heat and
other forces. The life increases as the
growth advances (3)
DR.. Tucker complains that I "con-
found molecular with vital action" He
says that the molecular action of mol
cules and atoms on each other 'ne7er
builds up living organisms, vital action
always does"
Here is where [ am seeking light. a.
suppose he means that vital action is
life, for he calls it the building force, the
same that he says 1f life. | wish DR..
Tucker would give us clear logical ar
gument in proof of life as a separate en-
tity, at work in the manufacture of ami
NAL and vegetable organisms. If he can
it is more than science has done.
He denies my position that death
transforms matter. He says: "When life
departs from an organism, then the un-
restrained action of chemical forces de.
stroys it." I am not sure that it is cor
rect to say that material life departs from
an organism. Living is the process of
transforming matter, by taking up and
assimiIating its living particles. Dying

manding back to its original elements its
living particles, and not the destruction
Of them. There is extinction of the ma
terial organism, but all ifs particles and
forces still live on In other forms. Hence
so far as the atoms Of matter are con-
cerned there is no death.
DR.. Tucker says th@ Scientists think
there is a chasm between matter and life
or they would not try 70 bridge it." But
the fact that they havd never discovered
any reliable method oSbridging it, is to
say the least strong ga4nds for the be-

California Uniyei sity.
The University of Soathern California
will hold their Arbor Day services to-
day, commencing at 9 o'clock. A can
vass under the direction of a first.class
landscape gardener will be commenced
by friends of the University, and trees
of different and rare varieties will be
llanted. As this will be the first time
that tree planting canvass has been
inaugurated in Southern California, more
than passing interest has been mani.
tested in the work, and the collection of
trees that will be planted is very fine.
Rev. Mr.. Huff donates sago palm and
Mr.. Stengel an Australian fern tree.
The Athena Society also donates mum.
ber of beautiful trees of uncommon va.
rieties for the grounds. Magnolias, ca.
nary pine and rubber trees will also be
planted and the Aristotelian Society will
plant silver tree. Previous to the
breaking of the ground for the trees,
there will be short address es in the col.
lege chapel by the Board of Directors of
the University, of which M. M. Bovard
is President, Rev. DR.. Bresee, H. II.
Wilcox, Miss Ida Lindley. The Senior
class of the University will participate
in the ceremonies. President Bovard
invites all friends of the University and

A NEW RAILROAD.
Arcadia and MOnrOvia TO
United.

Arcadia and MOnr0via TO bt
United.
Yesterday the following gentlemen
subscribed stock sufficient to build and
equip standard gauge railroad from
Arcadia to the center of the city of
Monrovia: E. j. Baldwin, E. F. Spence,
Monroe & Bicknell, P. c. Baker, II. A.
Unruh and J. F. Falvey. The road
will be mile and one.half in length and
Moprovia will then have station in the
city instead of o mile away. This makes
it absolutely certain that the same
blood is being infused into Arcadia that
made Monrovia such q snccess, and
owners of property in the new town are
correspondingly happy. Grading on
the new road will be commenced on
next Tuesday, and it will be in operation
within sixty days. The first large house
in Arcadia will be built on the corner of
First street and Falling Leaf avenue.
Mr.. Unruh yesterday let the contract for
burning 1900, 900 brick to be used for
buildings in Arcadia.
